A review by shinesalot
Sylvie by Sylvie Kantorovitz

5.0

Somehow...reading about how this author/illustrator grew up in France was extremely relatable. I have never been to France, but Sylvie struggles with her relationship with her mother (boy could I relate!), not fitting in, and finding herself.

I love how the narrative flows. The reader isn’t whisked away but rather we float through the events of Sylvie’s child/teen hood at the perfect pace. Just enough details (both through illustrations and words) to keep turning the pages.

Excellent graphic novel.
